Application Example 1:<br />
A New Generation of Joint Sealers<br />
Traditionally, containers and refrigeration units have been sealed with a silicone<br />
sealant, but the subsequent joint seal could not be painted. Furthermore,<br />
silicone-based systems tend to be too soft and flexible compared with an<br />
elastic adhesive that combines sealing properties with mechanical reinforcement,<br />
giving the joint the required structural stiffness. Hybrids have thus<br />
established themselves in this demanding application, where paintability,<br />
high temperature resistance and good mechanics are of the essence.<br />
Such sealers based on GENIOSIL ® STP-E polymers are the product of<br />
choice in this ever-growing application area.<br />
